<p>An improved long life, liquid activated battery is disclosed which employs a battery cell architecture including a metal electrode (20) and a specially configured, multi-element carbon electrode (10). The carbon electrode (10) is effected by activated carbon granules (209) embedded in an electrically conductive adhesive (202) in which the conductive component is a myriad of carbon particles. A conductor which may be a carbon fiber material or a more conventional conductor, is connected to the adhesive and couples the carbon electrode (10) through a barrier which isolates the cell chamber to provide one power input connection to a user device. The activated carbon granules (209) serve the second function of a cell gas scavenger. The other electrode (20) is a metal selected to obtain the desired cell voltage appropriate for the battery load.</p> |
